NOTE: 4th Day of Yule – Remembering the Noble Virtue of Truth: Truth is as relative as the individual. What one person or group finds to be the Truth, another finds to be ridiculous. There is no universal truth. There is no one-way or right way of seeing things. What we accept as truth is merely that; our truth. No one person or group has the right to dictate their truth on anyone. Search for your own truth.

Rune god! Wolf God! Raven god! UUODAN/ODIN!! We call out to you, not as a slave or on bended knee, but on our feet and opened-armed as befits your offspring. Watch us as we struggle, but the fight and fame must both be ours! Grant us that victory which we win by OUR might and mane! If we live well, Uuodan/Odin, grant us access to one of the Great Halls where we may feast, drink and be merry with those who have gone before us until the time comes to live or fight once more. UUODAN/ODIN, HAIL!!!

Frija/Frigga, teach us to be patient but not passive; wise but not haughty in our wisdom; far seeing yet not blind to that which is before us. May we nurture life, increase life, and live our own lives more fully. Through you we give honor to our human mothers.Through you we see all the beauty that surrounds us as well. FRIJA/FRIGGA, HAIL!!

Errands with Audie: sometimes it seemed we were literally going around in circles.

Audie did okay on her consignment stuff…

Audie worked on projects around the house and Hof

I had a project that demanded my absence from the house.Over at my brother’s house we usually talk about my former employer (his current employer).I told him I am not holding out hope to be recalled for employment.He said he hated to admit it but that was probably so.He said they are outsourcing so many things that my former job is all but eliminated.That may be stressful, but I have a plan; that is, continuing my education with Newman University and the Rad Tech program.With the project completed I came home.

Off to Merle’s for a beer with my honey: we haven’t been out like that for a while.We needed that!

I need to stay off the computer/Internet a bit more.I think my time on it is starting to stress Audie.I need to be more cognizant of that.

Oh yeah, we ARE going to get hit with some winter Wx this time.

OMGs, Audie is coughing her head off again…I just don’t know what to do for her.Sometimes she seems well but then she takes a turn for the worse…

P.M. Prayer:Ostara/Idun:

Ostara/Idun, keeper of the golden apples of youth, keep us young inside. When we are starving for laughter, hungry for the lightness that comes with having few years on our shoulders, slip us one of those gleaming fruits that we may see the world through youthful eyes. Let springtime be in our steps, love in our hearts and a song on our lips. Change us to the core! Fill us with optimism and dreams for the future. HAIL OSTARA/IDUN!!!
